Expanding CGHS Network

The criteria fixed for
setting up a Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS) dispensary in a particular
area is as under:-

(i) In an
existing CGHS city:- For opening of a new Allopathic CGHS dispensary in an
existing CGHS city, there has to be a minimum of 2000 Card holders (serving
employees of Central Government and Central Civil pensioners).

(ii) Extension of
CGHS to a new City:- For extension of CGHS to a new city, there has to be
a minimum of 6,000 Card holders.

As the resources under
CGHS are fully committed, it is not possible at present to extend CGHS network
to areas that are presently not covered even with the existing criteria.

The Health Minister, Shri J P Nadda stated this
in a written reply in the Rajya Sabha here today.

Central government ministries and departments will now be rewarded for successful implementation of e-Office or 'paperless office' initiative. The move is aimed at improving the ease of governance and expediting the administrative process.

Minister of State in the Prime Minister's Office Jitendra Singh has written to all ministers to take urgent action to shift to paperless functioning mode in a time bound manner. "It is one of the priority works of the government. We are writing to all ministers for going paperless. The e-Office will help in speeding up administrative work and result in saving money for the exchequer," he told PTI.

Singh said those doing exemplary work in this project may be given awards for excellence in public administration, which are given annually by the Prime Minister on civil services day. In his letter, the Minister said one of the agendas of the minimum government-maximum governance is to adopt e-Office in all government functioning for achieving the goal of governance with accountability, transparency and innovation (GATI), which is the sine-qua-non for achieving Prime Minister's Mission of PRAGATI.

The Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances is providing financial assistance for implementation of e-Office initiative. "In order to give encouragement towards implementation of e-Office across central ministries or departments, the Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances (DARPG) is also providing financial assistance for implementation of e-Office based realistic estimates duly vetted by National Informatics Centre (NIC). "It is also finalising a scheme for awarding better performing Ministries and Departments in e-Office," the letter reads.

The DARPG acts as nodal authority for the implementation of e-Office in central ministries with the help of the technical partner NIC. "It is noteworthy that the Ministry of Panchayati Raj has completely transformed itself to an e-Office platform, while the Ministry of Rural Development is close to achieving it," the letter said, citing works done by the two government departments.

2. The
administration of cadre(s) of the Organized Services of the Union is done based
upon the provisions as contained in the Service Rules(s). The policy change(s)
in terms of financial up-gradation, grant of promotion, composition of various
Committee(s) for promotion, qualifying service in various grades, are brought
for the benefit of the members of the Service. It has been observed by DoPT
that several recommendations of Pay Commission have not been incorporated in
the Service Rules. (Copy of OM is enclosed).

3. In this
regard, I am directed to request all the Pr. CCITs(CCA) / Pr. DGITs to
undertake revision of Service Rules of Organised Services under their
administrative control. I am further directed to request all the Pr. CCITs (CCA)/
Pr. DGITs to indicate the time frame by which they would revise the Service
Rules of organised Services under their administrative control.

Yours Faithfully,
